Dmitry Stogov - the author of the idea of the new PHPNG engine will deliver a talk at
DevConf 2014 .

We offer you an interview with the speaker:
- Tell a few words about yourself?I've been working with PHP for 12 years, more than 10 of them in Zend.
By MMCache, ext / soap, pecl / perl.
Maintainer Zend OPCache.
One of the main developers of php.net.
Participated in the development of components Zend Server, Zend Framework, phpcloud.com ...
')
- Can you say a few words about your report besides what is in the description?There is no report yet - what I will prepare today may become outdated in a week.
phpng is an experimental and very dynamic branch of PHP.
The amount of changes in the code made in 5 months exceeds 9MB.
Most of the standard extensions are already supported (to date, only 17 have not yet been adapted).
We have already tested phpng with wordpress, drupal, SugarCRM, ZF2 and everywhere noted at least 10% (or even up to 30%) increase in performance and a significant decrease in memory consumption. In fact, we are only taking the first steps, but now everyone in the PHP community understands that this is the main contender for the core of the next version of PHP. Well, all users will get a faster tool.
- Who is your report focused on?First of all, for developers who are familiar with C (the report will contain some technical details of the implementation).
I hope it will also be interesting for representatives of companies with high load web applications.
Well, everyone who is interested in the future of PHP.
- What does the new listener learn about your report?Key architectural changes in the core of PHP, which will significantly improve performance, perhaps the history of its development and future plans.
